SPIN has served over 76,000 families and individuals in Orange County since its inception in 1987.

At Serving People In Need (SPIN), we’re committed to serving the needs of people in our community who are in crisis and experiencing homelessness, or at risk of homelessness, by providing model programs to address the causes of homelessness.
